Hi there, Meredith!
I'm so glad you're back! As a SoCal resident, the
special resident ticket offer is a great way to enjoy the magic before June! I love that you're hoping to extend your time visiting the
Disneyland Resort with a
Magic Key, and I'm happy to help you take those steps.
Upgrading an eligible ticket to a Magic Key is possible, as long as Magic Key sales are active. Great news - at this time, Magic Key passes are still available for purchase and you can upgrade from within your app. Check out the
Magic Key Buying Guide to show the different pass types, all the benefits, and additional tips for your purchase. With a multi-day ticket, you can
upgrade up to midnight on the last day of your reservation date or the last valid day of the ticket. In my experience, we've always upgraded right in the app. Make sure your ticket is linked and you're logged into the
Disneyland app. Navigate to Tickets and Passes and the option to upgrade should be under the eligible tickets. As a California resident, if your address is accurate in your
Disney account, the option to pay monthly payments should also populate when you go to checkout. The value of your ticket will go towards the down payment of the ticket if you choose monthly payments or towards the full balance. You'll pay the first month or the remaining balance at the time of purchase.
I'm so excited for you and your son! There is so much
happening in 2024, we are just getting started. In just a few days
Star Wars Season of the Force begins (April 5 - Jun 2), followed by
Pixar Fest (April 26 - August 4). Later this year we'll be able to experience
Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which is what I am probably most excited about, besides the
holiday season with snow on Main Street, U.S.A.! I hope all this information helps you upgrade your magic, Meredith! Since we don't know how long Magic Key passes are available for sale, I recommend upgrading sooner rather than later. If you have any other questions, please feel free to
reach out again!
Wishing you a fantastic week!
Camille
